Security Audit Findings

CRITICAL Issues (All Resolved) ✅

  1. Weak Default Passwords ✅ FIXED

    • Solution: Environment variable + random passwords

  2. Sensitive Data Exposure ✅ FIXED

    • Status: Implemented
    • Location: app/Models/User.php (hidden fields)
    • Solution: Proper field hiding in model

HIGH Priority Issues

  1. Security Logging ✅ IMPLEMENTED, ⏳ INTEGRATION NEEDED

    • SecurityLogger service: Complete (106 lines)
    • Security channel: Configured
    • Integration: Needs auth flow connection

  2. Activity Logging ✅ SCAFFOLD, ⏳ CONFIGURATION NEEDED

    • Package: Installed (spatie/laravel-activitylog)
    • Trait: Added to User model
    • Migrations: Not published (needs: php artisan vendor:publish --tag=activitylog-migrations)

  3. File Upload Security ✅ IMPLEMENTED

    • Service: ImageUploadService complete
    • Security layers: 6 (MIME, size, content, re-encode, random names, path validation)

  4. Security Headers ✅ IMPLEMENTED

    • Middleware: SecurityHeaders complete
    • Headers: X-Frame-Options, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, etc.

MEDIUM Priority Issues
